Going back to school today after taking yesterday off to relax which I feel really helped. Dh was so sweet and went out and got me a water bottle and lime juice so I can stay hydrated.

Baby boy has been really up in my ribs the past few days making it very uncomfortable for me. I almost was thinking of trying to stand on my head to see if he would flip.
QOTD: If you are using a carrier what kind are you wanting for the LO?

AOTD: I really want to wrap this one but am intimidated by it. I would love a Gypsy mama since they have a good rep for being very cool to wear.

Just the usally bust day here! My milk came in last night I woke up ith a drenched shirt, Let the good times roll. I came in at 12 weeks with dd#1 because I was watching a newborn. This time I have no idea oh well. I'm trying to decide if I should pump or just leave it to be.

Off to work for me too... then nothing much but running around. Girl Scout cookies are in so I got to pick them up this afternoon

Nicole~ WOW! I guess every pregnancy is different.... I had trouble keeping up with ODD so I would probably pump if it were me! I am crossing my fingers that I can make it a year this time and have plenty of milk! PLEASE!

Jules-glad you got a day to rest and are feeling better. So sweet of your hubby

Nicole-hope you have a great day!!

AOTD: I have a couple. A moby wrap and a ring sling by SBP. I also bought a boba off zulily when they were on sale a few days ago but that can't be used until he's a bit older. Can't wait to wear him around

Today we are staying home for once! We haven been out running errands or going to play group dates every day this week so I'm glad we are staying home today and getting some stuff done. Hope everyone has a great day!

Nicole--maybe you are just an early come-er-inner! I would advise to just let it be, so LO can get as much colustrum as is there.

Colleen--MMmmmmmm Girl Scout Cookies......

Sarah--Yippee for staying home!

AFM--I will go back up to my house today, after a long wonderful week with DH to do a major pack so we can haul tomorrow afternoon. Big stuff--chest freezer, dressers etc are all coming down this trip. Fun fun!

And I got the Mama worries last night and this morning. I had forgotten I had taken some medication to help loosen my lungs (with dr's approval and guidance) and baby was a bit more sleepy than usual. As soon as I remembered I had taken it, I panicked thinking OMG! ..... but things are ok, and she's all a fluttering again. I feel so stupid when I do those kinds of things, or like go stare at the baby sleeping to make sure she's still breathing... or even poking them to see them wiggle if you arent sure... but I know all Mamas do it .... ugh

AOTD--I have like 30 different carriers. I have a minkey pouch thing that worked beautifully for my YDD, and will probably use that most--although we will see what else decides to get put on and what works for me, dh, and babe. She's pretty laid back so probably the pouch will do her best to start with.

I am feeling extra crappy today. The 3rd trimester tiredness/insomnia has hit me like a TRAIN. Nothing like being exhausted and not being able to sleep. On top of it all I either have horrible allergies and an everlasting cold and I can't breathe out my nose.. so when I do fall asleep it wakes me up. Okay /vent. Sorry.

We are dropping paperwork off today to file the workers comp. claim for my husband.. so I guess that's good news. You know your life is pretty boring when that is the highlight of your day.

AOTD: I have a Babyhawk MeiTei and a sling.. never used a babyhawk before so I am excited.

Jules - This little boy lives in my ribs a lot too. I haven't had a kid this bad since my first, so it's a little unplanned for. Glad you're feeling better too!

Nicole - Wow that's early for your milk to come in! I don't know what I'd do at this point either...

Colleen - Be careful with those cookies! :devil:

Sarah - I hope you have an awesome time staying at home. It's so nice for me to be at home sometimes where I don't have to have my kids under the constant eye like you do out in public.

A - Have fun with the major haul! I'd be exciting for it as long as I wasn't the one actually moving it. My daughter will tell me occasionally, "Mom, how about this time, YOU pick up and I sit and tell you what to do."

Amy - That return of the yuckies in the third tri is miserable. Hopefully you have a fairly smooth day today!

AFM - My son was up for literally half the night. And all because my husband has bathroom issues. We have the deal that I take care of the youngest (whoever that may be at the time) and he takes care of the older ones. He actually gets the better end because it's usually the youngest one that wakes up. Except, my son has a cold/cough so he woke up coughing. I was dealing with the youngest, so I assumed that since my husband was out of bed, he was dealing with it. Then my son started complaining and carrying on and my husband, for like ten minutes, called out every once in a while, "I'm going to the bathroom!" SERIOUSLY. WHO has SEATED BATHROOM TIME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT?!?! So I got my youngest a bit settled, but apparently not because once I went to take care of my son, she woke up...and then because nearly the entire family was awake, my oldest woke up. I was up between 1 and 4 and then 5:30 and 6. :coffee: And he just left for work and left me we with all the kids who will inevitably and simultaneously fall apart in about an hour. Not to mention that I have playgroup that I HAVE to go to (because I'm the coordinator) and my son has swim lessons tonight... I'm actually hoping he takes a nap to be able to do swim lessons tonight. *sigh* And I'm exhausted and nauseated because of it...

AOTD - We have a Belle carrier that we use with specific outings and stuff, but we're not big babywearers so I'm not looking for anything beyond that.

Colleen - mmmm...Samoas....you are making me hungry.....like I never eat or anything... haha!

Sarah - Me too! Hoping to get some stuff done! ODD is home (she has off school for the next 2 days) and I'm recruiting her to help. LOL!

A - AWWWW! I've done that too! Freaks ya right out, doesn't it>???? Good luck with the packign and moving. I am sooooo NOT looking forward to that come summer....I'll let ya come and help if ya want. LOL!

Amy - Are ya staying off your feet?? How are the ctx???

BV - Oh, girl, it's so not funny, but that totally made me I hope you can rest a bit today though.

Umm.. kind of. I've been SITTING a lot, but not laying down. I can't breathe when I lay down because of my cold/allergies so it isn't exactly relaxing. The contractions weren't terrible yesterday but they were pretty bad last night and then today they're definitely here. I just want to get in and have my ultrasound done (next Tuesday) to check my cervix and her growth..
